i don't think so.
i gave it to a mechanic i know to change the rings
in the block, it's quite possible that he may have
botched it. that's what i was thinking was to drop the
pan and check them.

i'm pretty sure it's not. i have two brand new knock
sensors and the car is tuned. ran every test in the
bentley to make sure all is good. it sounds like something
internal. i don't wanna drop the pan! goddamn lazy.
dah well.

thanks for the help!
